[Joe Haldeman]

Joe had a rough day. They removed a lot of adhesive tape from his abdomen, taking too much hair with it. The wound vac is gone, though, a good thing.  Then they had to reset his IV, involving more adhesive and hair pulling. He did well in PT and OT, cracking jokes the whole time. Yesterday's CT scan showed fluid around his pancreas; we don't yet know what that will mean, but I read that it's common.  May cause problems, may not. He was returned to a regular diet—no more soft food!  Rusty and I went to dinner with the Cincinnati Fan Group at a nice Mexican restaurant.  Love, Gay
